I can't believe people still think making Michael Jackson pedophilia jokes are funny or original.

It's one of the more tired and safest jokes you can make.

I like some of his music. Guy definitely had some issues. Whether they were harmless to the general public or not, we'll never know.

The whole story is a tragedy either way. Either he's harmed some kids, or he was wrongly accused of something you just can never recover from. The whole thing was very murky.
 
Had a quick look at Moonwalker again the other day after not seeing it for 30 years. Can anyone explain to me how this actually got made? Trippy Shiz.
 
No chance a nonce. Just a messed up dude.

It was so obvious that Jordy kids parents just saw $$ signs and made stuff up.

That would require a substantial amount of money, Evan figured 20 million dollars. As Evan was jealous of Jordy and Michael’s friendship and as Michael hadn’t given in to requests made by Evan before, Evan came up with the idea of accusing Michael of child molestation, unless Michael gave him 20 million dollars. About that Geraldine wrote, “Dr. Chandler had specifically stated his motive at this time was jealousy because he perceived that Michael Jackson was stealing his son’s affection away from him. Dr. Chandler was angry, had a motive and saw an opportunity to make money.”

Geraldine wrote, “In order for Dr. Chandler to carry out his plan, he needed custody of his 13-year old son. It would have been difficult to carry out such a plan without full custody or with interference from the child’s mother.”

Evan then hired the meanest attorney he could find, Barry Rothman. If money was all Evan was after (and obviously it was since he never pressed charges to have Michael arrested), an offer was made. Geraldine wrote, “Mr. Pellicano responded to Mr. Rothman’s request via fax stating that their client, Michael Jackson, had done nothing wrong and therefore they would not consider paying the twenty million dollars requested. He did, however, express a willingness to assist the father’s business venture by giving him a $350,000.00 screenwriting deal. He specifically said the offer was being made to resolve the custody dispute and to allow Dr. Chandler a chance to spend time with his son. (This was to overturn Dr. Chandler’s accusation that Michael Jackson was destroying his relationship with his son by spending too much time with him and causing Dr. Chandler to lose his son’s affection.) This was the only claim that Michael Jackson was willing to take responsibility for because in his heart and soul, this was the only thing he may have been guilty of.” (Anthony Pellicano is a private investigator who was hired by Michael’s long-time attorney, Bertram Fields.)
 
incredibly talented & skilled musician.

biggest pop star ever.

weirder than weird.

if he really abused kids then his personal legacy deserves to burn, tho' for many of his überfans that's like telling a religious devout his prophet was a paedophile...MJ is actually seen as holy by some.

his musical legacy however will survive, it's just too strong. bland imitators like Bruno Mars only highlight how good MJ's artistic output was.
